Just when Pei Xueyan lost his mind.
The shopkeeper of Tongdatang heard the commotion and ran over, looked at his old face and said with a smile: "Young Madam, but the people outside disturbed you to check the accounts?"
"..."
Pei Xueyan frowned slightly and said, "Go and ask the guest why he is angry. Remember to be polite."
"Yes Yes Yes…"
The shopkeeper of Tongda Hall hurriedly ran out and inquired about the situation with his smiling face. After finding out the cause of the visitor's anger, he thoughtfully arranged for a doctor to consult, and then ran back to the inner hall.
"Young lady, don't blame me."
He looked at his old face and explained: "There were a lot of patients for consultation today. The customers were impatient to wait, so they complained. I have already taken care of it."
"Has it been dealt with?"
Pei Xueyan glanced at him with an unhappy expression and said, "What's the guest's name?"
"ah……"
The face of the shopkeeper of Tongdatang froze, thinking to himself when he, the shopkeeper, would be responsible for asking the names of guests?
He responded nonchalantly: "Don't blame me, young lady. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to ask the guest's name."
"What is the relationship between the three of them?"
"..."
"You don't know anything and you just say it's taken care of?"
Pei Xueyan frowned and snorted coldly, then asked, "Does the guest come to Tongda Hall to get medicine? Or does he come to seek medical advice?"
"For consultation!"
The shopkeeper of Tongda Hall wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained: "The little girl he brought has trouble with her legs and feet. She came to our Tongda Hall to find a doctor to diagnose and treat the little girl's leg disease."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Pei Xueyan waved her hand to indicate that he could leave, then lowered his head and looked at his clothes before leaving the door of the inner hall.
'You just say it's taken care of when you don't understand anything. What if the customer is dissatisfied? Wouldn't it affect our Song family's business? '
In the front hall…
Yu Hong was sitting on a chair, and opposite her, an old doctor with white hair and beard was taking her pulse and checking her legs and feet.
Liu Shen glanced out of the corner of his eye and happened to see a familiar woman walking out of the inner hall and coming towards her.
The key is that he has seen that woman before!
The young mistress of the Song family...
Why is she here?
Just when he was puzzled, Pei Xueyan came over with a smile like a flower, and apologized with a smile: "I didn't mean to be negligent just now, I hope you don't blame me."
When the old doctor who was checking her pulse saw her coming, he stood up and cupped his hands in greeting: "I've met the young lady."
Liu Shen also came to his senses, and he also cupped his hands and said, "Young lady, you're welcome. Just now, the shopkeeper of Tongda Hall has explained the reason. I hope that Young Madam will forgive Liu for being rude."
"The guest officer is joking."
Pei Xueyan waved her hand to signal the old doctor to continue taking his pulse. After looking at Liu Shen, she pretended to be hesitant and asked, "The guest looks familiar to me, but where have I seen him before?"
"Young lady has a good memory."
Liu Shen smiled and explained: "Liu was lucky enough to have a chance encounter with the young lady when he was carrying a stone statue at the Song family a few days ago."
"Oh~~"
Pei Xueyan pretended to be surprised and nodded, smiling: "That's really fate."
Liu Shen just smiled and did not answer.
I don’t know whether the other person is really enthusiastic or fake. If I am just being polite and follow what they say and say I am destined, that would be too frivolous.
Pei Xueyan seemed to know this and said with a smile: "The guest didn't take offense to the disrespect in Tongda Hall. Now that we have these two sides, if the guest doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to the inner hall to have a cup of tea?"
"this……"
Liu Shen's heart moved when he heard this. After all, he had originally planned to inquire about the stone statues of the Song family. Wouldn't this be a pillow for him if he fell asleep?
Just imagine, besides Mr. Song, who else knows the Song family better than the young lady of the Song family?
Seeing his hesitation, Pei Xueyan thought he was worried about the little girl who was consulting, so she said, "Don't worry, sir, Doctor Zhang is the old signature of Tongda Hall. If anything happens, he will send someone to tell you."
Liu Shen already had the intention of being close to her, so when he heard these words, he naturally accepted the invitation and said, "Since I am the young lady inviting you, then it is better for Liu to be respectful than to obey."
"Hehehe~ You're welcome..."
Pei Xueyan curled her lips, stretched out her hand in a gesture of invitation, and then walked into the inner hall.
Upon seeing this, Liu Shen told Yuan Xiaofei to stay with Xiao Yuhong here, and went back by himself. After receiving the reply, he followed.
Inner hall, inside the shopkeeper’s accounting room…
When Pei Xueyan saw him following him, she poured a cup of tea and asked, "Is your guest's surname Liu?"
"The surname is Liu, and the single name is Shen."
"My name is Pei Xueyan..."
"Young lady, what a good name."
"oh?"
Pei Xueyan was surprised when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "But you don't know what's so good about my name?"
"In what year will the defeated man be enveloped in the void, and the snow geese, smoke and ducks will not be caged."
Liu Shen smiled and explained: "Snow geese can soar in the sky and swim in rivers and lakes. They are not restricted by the shackles of the world. Isn't this a good name?"
"Not bound by the shackles of the worldly prison..."
Pei Xueyan muttered in a daze, then regained his composure and said with a smile, "I didn't know my name had such meaning. I've been taught a lesson. I've been taught a lesson."
She paused in her voice and asked slightly curiously: "I don't know why you are... working as a porter at the pier, but you don't listen to the conversation of the guest officer."
"There's nothing bad about the dock."
Liu Shen explained calmly: "I must have heard about the flood four years ago. At that time, I fled all the way to Anqing Mansion with no clothes on my body and no food to eat. If I hadn't eaten Caobang rice at the pier, I’m afraid I would have starved to death on the streets.”
"..."
Pei Xueyan's face froze when she heard this, and she finally understood why the young man in front of him who was good at arithmetic and poetry was working as a porter at the pier.
She also knew that her question seemed to have exposed scars, so she pursed her lips and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry."
"The young lady is out of town."
Liu Shen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Both birth and natural disasters are beyond our control. It's good to be lucky enough to live in the present."
"Yeah, it's already good!"
Pei Xueyan sighed secretly, not wanting to discuss this sad topic for too long, so she casually changed the subject: "Are the two children who are being consulted outside your younger siblings?"
"So be it."
"That's right?"
"Because we just met today..."
Liu Shen sighed with a wry smile, and then recounted how Wei Dafu was exhausted after carrying the statue that day, entrusted him to deliver the money bag before his death, and how he met Yuan Xiaofei and Yu Hong on the way to deliver the money bag today. Tao Lai.
Except for the "Crazy Demon Sword Art", he also explained the life experiences of the two brothers and sisters.
Pei Xueyan sighed secretly. He clearly wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.
Is it really hateful that Captain Xu lied about the weight of the Bodhisattva statue and exhausted people to death?
Or is it really annoying that Captain Xu was paid a hundred taels of silver, but only gave a few taels of silver to the porters working underneath?
The matter is over, and the money has already fallen into other people's pockets. What's the use of talking about it now?
So she could only say: "The two children Yuan Xiaofei and Yu Hong are pitiful."
"yes…"
Liu Shen sighed: "I was thinking at that time, if I had not put down the burden in my heart and worked as a porter at the pier, then even if I did not starve to death on the street, I would probably become another Yuan Xiaofei."
Pei Xueyan smiled slightly and asked: "So you decided not to report to the official, but you decided to help the two brothers and sisters?"
"That's right..."
Liu Shen nodded and said with some embarrassment: "Since they sincerely called me Brother Shen, it doesn't matter if I try my best to help them."
"Hehehe, good, good, good~"
Pei Xueyan covered her lips and laughed when she heard this, and said three hellos in a row.
Through this short chat, she had already made a mark for Liu Shen in her mind, such as: good-looking facial features, strong and stylish body, good at arithmetic, understanding poetry, good-sounding words, true to his word, not greedy, emphasizing friendship, and caring. Wait for a series of tags.
'It's a piece of jade...'
